I once had the url of a site that would check your web page for broken
links. Can anyone point me to one, please?
 
I can do better than that if you're on Windows:

Xenu Link Checker (freeware)
http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

This is an excellent freeware site link checker that I have been using
on my website for several years now. It is fast and efficient, and very
configurable. You can choose to have it ignore certain types of links or
files, or even entire domains. You can also specify what types of errors
you want to be reported (e.g., 404 not found errors, redirections,
server time-out, etc.).

Highly recommended!
 
doesn't "recalculate hyperlinks" do sort-of the same thing - checks for fixes
broken links if you change page names or some such thing (change your navigation
structure, add or remove pages etc). Albeit a basic check-and-fix....
 
No it does not. It refreshes the meta dictionaries the FP relies on for site management.

There are reports within FP that do check for broken links -- they are limited in value.
